Alabama Congressman Mike Rogers Concludes Inquiry into Deadly Boat Strike
Alabama Congressman Mike Rogers, who chairs the House Armed Services Committee, has decided to end his part of a bipartisan investigation into a U.S. military strike on a suspected drug boat in the Caribbean. The strike, which occurred on September 2, resulted in the deaths of two survivors. Rogers, after reviewing classified briefings and video footage from the Pentagon, concluded that the action was legal. He emphasized the need for other committee members to access the same information, with a briefing expected next week. The incident, part of a broader military operation against drug trafficking in the Caribbean, has raised questions about the legality and necessity of the strike, especially since the boat was in international waters.
